host: a headline recently -- obama's education plan is dominated by loose ends. his agenda looks less like real reform and more like tying up loose ends. practical budget issues and a struggle between congress and the administration getting in the way. how will they find education reform in the next four years? guest: first off, we do have to reauthorize the elementary and secondary school act, which was known during the bush era as no child left behind and lots of states are now getting waivers for. the act was about getting resources to the kids who needed it most so we could leverage -- level the playing field. we saw equity in public schools and actually a greater increase in student achievement at that point than we had in the no child left behind era -- what we really need to do is not close community schools, stabilize communities and have them be more vibrant, which has been a real problem in the recession and in terms of the school closure policy. the other thing we have to do is we actually have to teach more and test blast. -- less. but when you have p
